A number of years ago, my buddy Dave and I made a silly video about our cats.  We wondered what it might be like for cats to compete with each other in an olympic-style competition.  The competition itself proved to be too big of a project to bite off, so we merely made a video about them preparing for such an event.

We basically just filmed our cats (our cat, The Professor, and Dave and Jen's cat, Mambo) doing the things they normally did.  I wanted to make it all NFL-film documentary style, so I found some appropriate music, and put it all together, with me doing a strained althetic announcer voice (yes, that's me).

I just recently heard of Stage6, and decided to give it a shot using this video as a test.  It's a YouTube-like site that allows you to have much higher quality video (at the cost of having to install the Divx player).  So, I give you "The Road to Catathalon 1987".  I'd like some feedback as to how well this works in the various other platforms and browsers.

Oddly enough, after viewing this, many people ask me who won, or when this event occurred.  I'd like to take this time to pre-emptively remind people that the Catathalon is a fictional event.

This was when they were both bachelor cats. Shortly after training, The Professor got his Mrs. and Mambo found Samba. ;-)

The large box below the article just had a small X in the corner and no picture, and I found no place to click to go to the site to see the event. Let me know if it's something you can fix. MM
